Nihilego cards
Every Nihilego card we could find. We hold no price for any of them, so this page names and pictures the printings instead.
- The Parasite Pokemon. Nihilego is #793 in the National Pokedex.
- First English card. Crimson Invasion, November 3, 2017.
- Types. Rock and Poison in the video games. A card only ever carries one type, so which one it is printed as depends on the card.
- Generation 7, Alola. One of the 88 species that generation introduced.
- Size. 1.2m (3ft 11in) and 55.5kg (122lb).
- Capture rate 45 of 255. Higher is easier to catch. This one sits in the middle.

Evolution
Nihilego does not evolve
It has no pre-evolution and nothing it becomes, which puts it with the 200 other species in the Pokedex that stand alone. The evolution chart lists every one of them.

In the video games
What beats Nihilego
Damage taken by a Rock / Poison Pokemon, computed from the type chart. Everything not listed does normal damage.
- x4Ground, double weakness
- x2Water, Psychic and Steel
- ½xNormal, Fire, Flying, Bug and Fairy
- ¼xPoison, double resistance
This is the video game chart, not the card game. The Pokemon TCG has eleven types and no type chart at all: Weakness and Resistance are printed on each individual card, and two cards of the same Pokemon can print different ones.
